A Replacement Model of Metropolitan Expansion [PDF]

Geographical Analysis, 1983
A replacement model of metropolitan expansion is developed and empirically estimated. It is similar in structure to a Markovian model but unlike that type it balances the net inflow of households into an area against changes in the stock of housing. The model is applied to zonal data for the Toronto CMA during both 1966-71 and 1971-76 and appears to ...
